Aquatica

There is nothing more serene than a calm blue ocean, and that is almost all there is to see on the aptly named planet Aquatica. A chain of atolls and small islands are all that breaks up this magnificent scene, and here a human science outpost is situated. Below the waves however is a different story.

The waters team with a huge abundance of life, some similar to those of earth, most totally bizarre and surprising. The native inhabitants, known to us as Merpeople as their sonar language is unpronounceable to us, are a pre-industrial race who have carved magnificent dwellings from the coralite reefs. They are friendly and hospitable, always ready to show you their way of life and the wonders of their home.

Your stay will be aboard the submotel Triton as it tours the benthic landscape, affording magnificent views through 180-degree transparent viewing lounges. In the hands-on explorers area, you can reach outside the sub through formaplas gauntlets that enable you to touch and feel the wonders of the deep. Also on board are:

§ Classic retro cruise ship cabaret
§ Pneumatic archery range
§ Virtual table football

All rooms are fitted with transparable panoramic windows and local sea water beds for luxurious comfort.

Flight per person from Earth to Aquatica : 16,000 €$
Price per person per night on board the Triton : 1,800 €$
